HID's Oppinions

i can't rate hids highly enough, any car i get the first thing i buy is a set of hids, very very good light from them, everyone should have them as a safety feature imo.
dunno about the uk but they pass our nct(mot)
also top end cars have them as standard so they must be legal once they're focused properly.
when you say price tag, how much are the ones you're looking at?
6k will be white light, 8's, which is what i always use have a more blue tint to them and really look the part

im not sure on this but i think if u can see the bulb then they are illegal sound wierd i know but what i mean is with my quad lights on my starlet they are projector lences if u look throught the back of the light there is a panel in the middle so the light doesnt travel forward instead it reflects off the mirrored sides its the same with high end cars that come with hids as standard they all hav projector lences
well look no further than www.vvme.com i always buy from there, good customer service and good prices, 1st set i bought a year ago are still going strong

6000k provide better lighting than 8000k, its more to do with what styling you want mate, the higher you go the blue'er they become
with HID i think technically u need jet washers on the front to be totally legal and they will need to be level'd to ensure they do not point high/low and dazzle someone, otherwise they will probably fail this in an MOT. HID's are awesome, i got some from ebay and they never worked so havent got round to fitting some, but they do look awesome at night!well its all a matter of preference, i prefer the look of 8's, seems to me 8's suit jap cars and 6's are more for euro, well thats from what i see anyway

you can just whip out the bulb for mot and stick in a standard bulb, you don't need to uninstall the whole kit if needs be
yep got fogs also, some people say they don't look good unless used in projectors, but i reckon they suit anything, totally change the look of the car
you get everything you need in the kit supplied, and the cars above are 35's, the ones i currently have in my camry are 55's, have no pix though, they seem brighter than the 35's, i was very impressed with them, but 35's are very good also!
did you check out that link, they should have what you need, what price you get?
only problem i ever had with them was when i ordered a set of 8k's, and when they arrived one bulb was 8k and the other was 6k so they looked different colours, they sent me out a replacement bulb immediately

i think they look good going by the pic above
would most police know this though? worst that can happen is they make you take them out, i've gone through plenty of checkpoints though and never had a problem.
